NOTE: Importing from Ziplist? When you press “Import from Ziplist”, this plugin updates your prior posts, pointing recipes in them to the new format. As a result, we urge you to back up your WordPress database before installing.

Basic features of the version 1.x plugin are Rich Snippet markup, Ziplist data import with shortcode conversion to the new format, optional “Save Recipe” and “Make Grocery List” features, 3 design templates and print support.

We’ve made it one-click easy to migrate your Ziplist-powered food blog to the new recipe format while preserving and improving the important SEO features, as well as providing a smooth transition for your readers.

2) Make a backup of your mySQL database. Since this is an alpha test, if you’re going to be clicking the “Import from Ziplist” button, we really insist that you make a backup copy of your WordPress data, particularly your WordPress mySQL database. Here’s how. The reason is that the changes to your blog will are irreversible when you make this change, as links to your Ziplist-embedded recipes will be updated to the new format.
